我通过研究巴西政府为艾滋病毒/艾滋病患者免费和普遍获得抗逆转录病毒药物的政策来探讨公共卫生和人权之间的关系。巴西政府对艾滋病毒/艾滋病疫情的管理源于该国民主化后民间社会和政府部门的倡议。巴西威权统治的瓦解伴随着强烈的人权取向，这构成了巴西应对艾滋病毒/艾滋病疫情的社会政治框架。即使巴西的经验不能轻易推广到其他国家，巴西政府的应对模式也可以启发人们在其他国家的情况下找到适当的拯救生命的解决方案。
I explore the relationship between public health and human rights by examining the Brazilian government's policy of free and universal access to anti-retroviral medicines for people with HIV/AIDS.The Brazilian government's management of the HIV/AIDS epidemic arose from initiatives in both civil society and the governmental sector following the democratization of the country. The dismantling of authoritarian rule in Brazil was accompanied by a strong orientation toward human rights, which formed the sociopolitical framework of Brazil's response to the HIV/AIDS epidemic.Even if the Brazilian experience cannot be easily transferred to other countries, the model of the Brazilian government's response may nonetheless serve as inspiration for finding appropriate and life-saving solutions in other national contexts.
